Getty Images announces $85,000 in grants for photojournalists

Recently, Getty Images announced the launch of their annual photojournalism grants. The aim of the grants is to help bring attention to significant current issues. The Getty Images Editorial Grants support both individuals and organizations harnessing the power of photojournalism to tell important stories.

There’s a total of $85,000 in grants for photojournalists offered across different areas. The Getty Images Grant for Editorial Photography offers three grants of $5,000 each for photographers and videographers reporting stories of forced displacement. Judges will be looking for images that reveal how people around the world have been forced to flee their homes due to persecution, conflict, violence, human rights violations, climate change, or events resulting in significant public order. Additional information can be found here.

Inclusion Grants have the aim of promoting greater diversity and inclusion within the photographic and media industries and are open to photographers around the world. Getty Images will partner with Women Photograph and Diversify Photo and offer a total of eight grants worth $5,000 each. Further information can be found at this link.

Organizations that support documentary photography and its practitioners, either through public engagement or professional development, can apply for one of two $15,000 grants that are project-based and are intended for educational programs, workshops, exhibitions, and other initiatives that reinforce the power of photography as a journalistic medium. The grants are open to non-profit organizations of any size, worldwide. Follow this link for more information.

The deadline for all three grants is 15 May.
